To study the relationship between dragon’s weight and its age , we apply Logistics model after biological analysis. Then we use provided body mass data of dragon at different age, to fit the weight-age curve. It was found that the dragon grew rapidly from age 3 to age 5, then almost reached the maximum at age 8, and then grew slowly. The maximum body weight was about kg. Then we set a model to find the relationship between daily energy consumption , daily caroles intake and age of the dragon, according to Kleiber’s law (the relationship between the energy consumption and body weight w is ) and the law of biological growth(consumption and expenditure determines the weight increase). An adult dragon would eat around × kcal per day. Under different climate conditions, area required to support a dragon varies. To simplify, we refer to the novel and we found dragons mostly eat sheep. So the food chain is herbage, sheep, dragon. First we calculated how many sheep will 3 dragons eat per day, then we use Malsus model to estimate the required sheep population. To analyze how mush area is required to support sheep group, w
